Holland played some of the best soccer at this competition. They were the underdogs but they had a great game plan that really worked. They were an asset to the competition. They kept their heads, they were a great team.
I think you're being influenced by those disgraceful, deranged fool clowns in the RTE studio (I don't think Dunphy is deranged... he just can't resist going along with it for the troll). Guess what? The only reason they love Spain so much is because they have all the most expensive players in the world playing for them. So in their minds Spain should win.
Spain played some of the most boring soccer we've ever seen at any world cup. Spain were a disgrace. Their matches were stupid. All they did was pass and pass and pass and pass and pass.
I think it's fucking stupid to give out about Netherlands tackling hard. Yes, they do tackle hard, so what?
Brady, Dunphy and Giles just see it as another opportunity to get up on their high horses again, call the referee a clown, they would have killed the linesman if he had made the slightest error, say that football is going extremely cynical... they're a joke.
Hope this is the last world cup Bill ever did.

They were not a disgrace, you often see tackles going in like that in a physical game. The de Jong tackle was a freak accident, he clearly didn't intend that.
It's not hard to pull out the worst angles and the worst tackles in a rought game and make a joke of the referee after a physical match like that, maybe he could have given a yellow card or two or three more.
This was NOT a case of the clever skillful team that played football winning over the physical, brute force of a team.... both sides played really good football (although there were times they both made bad mistakes as well). Spain's attacking flair was a joke.
If Spain was passing the ball around cleverly, opening up space, and Netherlands were cutting out everything with fouls I could agree with you, but Spain were not. It was the same old game with them. I bet Holland got a comparative amount of free kicks for what Spain were doing, even though Spain had more possession.
They were no disgrace out there, they should have had a penalty when Puyol clearly had his arm all over Robben, but of course the lads in the studio couldn't give a shit about that because they were too busy cumming over Spain. That should have been a clear penalty. If that had been against Spain, they would have talked of nothing else. Dunphy would be talking about how it was a disgrace to football, that a tournament had been decided on the basis of a bad refereeing decision that would have given a certain goal. That it was so nasty to do that because Puyol knew he could get away with a foul like that. What about Puyol's disgrace there? What about Spain's disgrace?

Holland did play some very good football during the tournament, but they also displayed some of the cruder elements of the game. Van Bommel went through the tournament kicking anything that moved and was lucky he didn't get sent off in earlier rounds.
He did the same with Bayern Munich in the Champions League. He could have been sent for for the stamp on Iniesta near the touchline but the ref & linesman missed it, and Iniesta got booked for innocuous retaliation.
De Jong wasn't even booked for his Kung Fu challenge on Alonso, whether it was intentional or not. If you jump into an opponent with your foot that high up and with studs showing, you are likely to hurt someone.
I hoped that both teams would play good, exciting football, they certainly have the players for it, but the Dutch tactic was to stop Spain legally or illegally, and more often it was the latter.
